As the FOIA requires, please release all reasonably segregable nonexempt portions of documents. If you deny all or part of this request, please cite the specific exemption you think justifies your refusal to release the information and notify me of appeal procedures available under the law.

FEES AND FEE STATUSI am a PhD student at the University of New Mexico and the information requested is for academic and public education purposes, including my PhD dissertation project, and not primarily for commercial use. Furthermore, I will make responsive records available to the public via my academic publications and presentations; on social media (I have over 13,000 Twitter followers); and through the News Site MuckRock.com. Please note that you can access my UNM student profile page at the following url: https://anthropology.unm.edu/people/grad-students/profile/martin-pfeiffer.html.

Therefore, as per Sack v. DOD (2016) I qualify for educational institution fee status and ask that you process my request accordingly. In your response please confirm that you will be processing my request under the educational institution fee status.

If fees are assessed then I agree to pay fees up to $30 without additional notice. In the event that there are fees exceeding $30 then please inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request.

RECORDS AND COMMUNICATIONSI hereby request that all records generated by this request be delivered in electronic format via email or, if that is not possible, on CD-ROM if available.Please do not hesitate to contact me (preferably via email) with any questions or information. You may, and I request that you do so if convenient, engage in rolling release of responsive documents.

CONCLUSIONI look forward to receiving your response within the twenty day statutory period. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation and time in this matter.

This is a gentle comment that this FOIA request was submitted February 1st, 2019 and we are now more than halfway past the 20 day statutory response period without it being processed, acknowledged, and sent for responsive records. If you are not the agency holding this record then please tell me where I should direct my request.

Good Morning Mr. Pfeiffer, A request has been sent on our behalf to our digitization department in order to have the documents scanned. The system was down for quite some time so we are experiencing a bit of a lag in return times. Once we receive the scans I will be sure to get them to you as soon as possible.

Thank you for the status update and response to my message! I greatly appreciate your consideration and efforts on this matter. Is there a particular control/tracking number associated with this request that I should use in communications?

I am touching base as this Freedom of Information Act has not passed the 20 day statutory period provided for the provision of responsive records or for the agency involved to invoke exceptional circumstances for an extension.

May I please ask for a status update, an expected completion date, the control or tracking number assigned to this request, and who the person of record handling this request is that I should be communicating with is?
